SPANISH (Reducida)
TABLE DESIGNATOR
spa-xre
(The initial translation table for a translation is determined by the selected template, and may be changed using the Document / Translation Tables menu. Using those menus does not involve explicit use of the table designator. However, in cases where it is necessary to switch to a different translation table partway through a file, the designator for the table being switched to is required; see the general description of the [lnb~...] command for further details.)
FUNCTIONAL SUMMARY
The Spanish/Reducida tables support print-to-braille translation of Spanish-language literary text in grade 1 (uncontracted) or grade 2 (contracted) Spanish braille. The contraction system is one defined to Duxbury Systems by a Mexican braille producer, CIPC.
REFERENCES, HISTORY AND CREDITS
These were adapted by Duxbury Systems, Inc. in May 1991, working from the then-current Spanish/Original tables. The contraction system followed is defined by a document entitled "Tabla Estenografia Reducida (Espana, 1982)," which was then in use at the Comite International pro Ciegos (CIPC), Mexico City. The tables are currently maintained by Duxbury Systems, with occasional feedback from the Organizacion Nacional de Ciegos Espanoles (ONCE), Madrid, and other sources, and using "Codigo Matematico Unificado para la Lengua Castellana 1987" as a source for some symbols.
